[ Upstream commit 86147e3cfa5e118b61e78f4f0bf29e920dcbd477 ]

User mode callee regs are explicitly collected before signal delivery or
breakpoint trap. r25 is special for kernel as it serves as task pointer,
so user mode value is clobbered very early. It is saved in pt_regs where
generally only scratch (aka caller saved) regs are saved.

The code to access the corresponding pt_regs location had a subtle bug as
it was using load/store with scaling of offset, whereas the offset was already
byte wise correct. So fix this by replacing LD.AS with a standard LD

[ Upstream commit 0d7b8855a05c099a5c65a8d49a1e604198021f56 ]

Reported by Anton as LTP:munmap01 failing with Illegal Instruction
Exception.

   ---------------------&gt;8--------------------------------------
   mmap2(NULL, 24576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x200d2000
   munmap(0x200d2000, 24576)               = 0
   --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x200d2000}
   ---
   potentially unexpected fatal signal 4.
   Path: /munmap01
   CPU: 0 PID: 61 Comm: munmap01 Not tainted 3.13.0-g5d5c46d9a556 #8
   task: 9f1a8000 ti: 9f154000 task.ti: 9f154000

   [ECR   ]: 0x00020100 =&gt; Illegal Insn
   [EFA   ]: 0x0001354c
   [BLINK ]: 0x200515d4

   [STAT32]: 0x800802c0
   ...
   ---------------------&gt;8--------------------------------------

The issue was
1. munmap01 accessed unmapped memory (on purpose) with signal handler
   installed for SIGSEGV

2. The faulting instruction happened to be in Delay Slot
   00011864 &lt;main&gt;:
      11908:	bl.d       13284 &lt;tst_resm&gt;
      1190c:	stb        r16,[r2]

3. kernel sets up the reg file for signal handler and correctly clears
   the DE bit in pt_regs-&gt;status32 placeholder

4. However RESTORE_CALLEE_SAVED_USER macro is not adjusted for ARCv2,
   and it over-writes the above with orig/stale value of status32

5. After RTIE, userspace signal handler executes a non branch
   instruction with DE bit set, triggering Illegal Instruction Exception.

After the recent cleanups, all the exception handlers now have same
boilerplate prologue code. Move that into common macro.

This reduces readability but helps greatly with sharing / duplicating
entry code with ARCv2 ISA where the handlers are pretty much the same,
just the entry prologue is different (due to hardware assist).

Also while at it, add the missing FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN calls in couple of
places to drop down to pure kernel mode (from exception mode) before
jumping off into "C" code.

<title>ARC: pt_regs update #5: Use real ECR for pt_regs-&gt;event vs. synth values</title>

pt_regs-&gt;event was set with artificial values to identify the low level
system event (syscall trap / breakpoint trap / exceptions / interrupts)

With r8 saving out of the way, the full word can be used to save real
ECR (Exception Cause Register) which helps idenify the event naturally,
including additional info such as cause code, param.
Only for Interrupts, where ECR is not applicable, do we resort to
synthetic non ECR values.

SAVE_ALL_TRAP/EXCEPTIONS can now be merged as they both use ECR with
different runtime values.

The ptrace helpers now use the sub-fields of ECR to distinguish the
events (e.g. vector 0x25 is trap, param 0 is syscall...)

The following benefits will follow:

(1) This centralizes the location of where ECR is saved and will allow
    the cleanup of task-&gt;thread.cause_code ECR placeholder which is set
    in non-uniform way. Then ARC VM code can safely rely on it being
    there for purpose of finer grained VM_EXEC dcache flush (based on
    exec fault: I-TLB Miss)

(2) Further, ECR being passed around from low level handlers as arg can
    be eliminated as it is part of standard reg-file in pt_regs

<title>ARC: stop using pt_regs-&gt;orig_r8</title>

Historically, pt_regs have had orig_r8, an overloaded container for
  (1) backup copy of r8 (syscall number Trap Exceptions)
  (2) additional system state: (syscall/Exception/Interrupt)

There is no point in keeping (1) since syscall number is never clobbered
in-place, in pt_regs, unlike r0 which duals as first syscall arg as well
as syscall return value and in case of syscall restart, the orig arg0
needs restoring (from orig_r0)  after having been updated in-place with
syscall ret value.

This further paves way to convert (2) to contain ECR itself (rather than
current madeup values)

(This is a VERY IMP change for low level interrupt/exception handling)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* User 25 now saved in pt_regs-&gt;user_r25 (vs. tsk-&gt;thread_info.user_r25)

* This allows Low level interrupt code to unconditionally save r25
  (vs. the prev version which would only do it for U-&gt;K transition).
  Ofcourse for nested interrupts, only the pt_regs-&gt;user_r25 of
  bottom-most frame is useful.

* simplifies the interrupt prologue/epilogue

* Needed for ARCv2 ISA code and done here to keep design similar with
  ARCompact event handling

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG, r25 is used to cache "current" task pointer
in kernel mode. So when entering kernel mode from User Mode
- user r25 is specially safe-kept (it being a callee reg is NOT part of
  pt_regs which are saved by default on each interrupt/trap/exception)
- r25 loaded with current task pointer.

Further, if interrupt was taken in kernel mode, this is skipped since we
know that r25 already has valid "current" pointer.

With 2 level of interrupts in ARCompact ISA, detecting this is difficult
but still possible, since we could be in kernel mode but r25 not already saved
(in fact the stack itself might not have been switched).

A. User mode
B. L1 IRQ taken
C. L2 IRQ taken (while on 1st line of L1 ISR)

So in #C, although in kernel mode, r25 not saved (infact SP not
switched at all)

Given that ARcompact has manual stack switching, we could use a bit of
trickey - The low level code would make sure that SP is only set to kernel
mode value at the very end (after saving r25). So a non kernel mode SP,
even if in kernel mode, meant r25 was NOT saved.

The same paradigm won't work in ARCv2 ISA since SP is auto-switched so
it's setting can't be delayed/constrained.

This is trickier than prev two:

* context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of
  struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height
  of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word.

* Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel
  stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too.

ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from
user_regs_struct.
